Description
The flagship design of GM's new Talcott production facility the Hellspawn was designed in response to a call from the AFFCfor several new combat units. The resultign design is intended to compete with the older Dervish BattleMech. The Hellspawn is built on a GM Fury-M Endo Steel chassis that weighs half as much as a standard chassis. The Hellspawn carries a GM 270 XL engine that gives it a top speed of 97.2 km/h and alos weighs half a smuch as a standard engine wile makign the 'Mech susceptable to a combat kill from a side torso loss. For protection from enemy electronic warfare equipment such as C3 or Artemis IV the Hellspawn has a Guardian ECM Suite. To enhance the 'Mechs mobility it has six Rawlings 80 jump jets that allow the 'Mech to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters. Finally the Hellspawn has six and a half tons od armor that is barely adequate when compared to other medium 'Mechs.
Armament
The Hellspawn has two Federated 10-shot LRM-10 launchers which make the 'mech capable of provinging both direct and indirect long range fire suport. For self defense in close combat the Hellspawn has three RAMTech 800P Medium Pulse Lasers
